Sashiko Bowl with Chopsticks

The Sashiko Bowl with Chopsticks by Sass & Belle brings a piece of Japanese dining culture straight to your table. With its traditional Sashiko star pattern in deep indigo blue on cream-white porcelain, it is not just practical tableware but a real design piece — a small trip to Tokyo in any kitchen.

The clever detail of this bowl sits right at the rim: a precise cutout with two holes holds the included bamboo chopsticks in place. They stay clean between bites and never roll across the table — a thoughtful detail you rarely find on other Asian bowls.

Made from high-quality kaolin porcelain, the bowl is sturdy, light and feels premium in the hand. Measuring 12.5 × 12.5 × 10 cm, it is perfect for a generous portion of ramen, pho, udon, miso soup or other Asian noodle dishes. It also works beautifully as a granola bowl, for rice bowls or as a small salad bowl.
